Document Summary
Why sex: disadvantages their genetic information recombine) of sexual reproduction (having two individuals mate and having. Investment in finding a mate need to seek out a mate versus others do not like prokaryotes. Offspring are not necessarily identical in phenotype to parents and could get a maladaptive phenotype because of expression of deleterious recessive alleles. No certainty that the offspring will have a good phenotype because if the recessive allele will show the bad phenotype. Meiotic cost of sex (parent only determines half the genetic make-up of their offspring) Implications of non-random mating on individual genotypes and population compositions. Energy-intensive, potential lack of attention to predators or finding food, time- intensive. Stds and stis: advantages, the lottery model of sexual reproduction. Intrasexual selection individuals of one sex compete amongst themselves like intramural sports that occur within one university . Intersexual selection one sex chooses their mate(s) like interschool sports, western vs. queens .
